well done theirmum - I'm just having a coffee break/long lunch before embarking on the hoover and ironing - trying to decide which to do first though - possibly the ironing as I can always hoover when DS3 wakes up from his nap.....

I have achieved the holy grail of laundry - an empty dirty laundry basket, and an empty ironing basket

Woohoo - nearly done having a coffee break and then going to do a quick zoot round in here, shouldn't take long - maybe 10-15 minutes (children depending).

Then I'll get upstairs and take some photos and jot notes for this stuff to go on ebay, then cook dinner, bathing them is just before bed, then after bed I can list stuff (and my housework will be already done bar a bit of tidying up from dinner)

So just the listing on ebay to do - but it won't let me log-in to sell ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sorry I didn't realise the thread had moved as I was watching it in threads I am on. If it moves again, can somebody please let me know on here so I can still join in?

Today I am desperate to get my house looking better. My back room (which isn't really used but you have to walk through it to get anywhere in the house as it is in the centre and all the doors come off it.) (yes my house has a very stupid layout)is such a bomb site. Seriously, you have to climb over stuff everytime you walk through it! I always put stuff that needs to go upstairs there, often heavy stuff, thinking DH can do it but he is useless and never takes things up with him so it has all gathered up (I usually have DD when I am going up and I am pregnant so trying to avoid heavy lifting.)

Anyway, want to sort that out. Job list for today:

Hoover floors downstairsMop kitchen and bathroom floorsTake everything upstairs that needs to goTry not to turn upstairs into a mess in the process!Put one washing load inHang up washingEmail Usborne about book order. Make dinner

sorry - the old thread had disappeared off my active conversations - so I started a new one as I couldn't find it

I haven't got too much to do but will join you anyhow

What I need to do

Have a shower and get dressedGet the boys dressedPop to town to pay a bill and get a few bits at MorrisonsEmpty the dishwasherTake photos of more stuff to get listed on ebayGet the breadmaker on just after lunchMake dinner (soup)Feed the boys dinnerBath themHooverLoad of washingDry clothesIron and Put away
